The decoration was established on June 27, 1908 and the first recipient of the award was Rear Admiral John E. Pillsbury . To be awarded the WestIndies Campaign Medal, a service member must have performed sea duty in the WestIndies between the dates of May 1, 1898 and August 16, 1898. The award was a one time decoration only and there were no devices authorized for multiple engagements or combat participation. The decoration was rarely bestowed, since most Navy and Marine Corps personnel received the Sampson Medal for WestIndies service, and Navy regulations prohibited the bestowal of both the Sampson Medal and WestIndies Campaign Medal for the same period of duty. The WestIndies Campaign Medal was declared obsolete by the U.S. Navy in 1913, following a diplomatic request by Spain that the United States discontinue service medals which displayed Spain s national colors. As a result, those who had previously received the WestIndies Campaign Medal were permitted to exchange the decoration for the Spanish Campaign Medal .
